Original content

خوش آن کز بند صورت باز رسته
ز سحر چشمبندان چشم بسته

دلش بیدار و چشمش در شکر خواب
ندیده کس چنین بیدار در خواب

بپوشیده ز ناپاینده دیده
ولی پوشیده آینده دیده

شبی یوسف به پیش چشم یعقوب
که پیش او چو چشمش بود محبوب

به خواب خوش نهاده سر به بالین
به خنده لعل نوشین کرد نوشین

ز شیرین خنده آن لعل شکرخند
به دل یعقوب را شوری در افکند

چو یوسف نرگس سیراب بگشاد
چو بخت خویش چشم از خواب بگشاد

بدو گفت ای شکر شرمنده تو
چه موجب داشت شکر خنده تو

بگفتا خواب دیدم مهر و مه را
ز رخشنده کواکب یازده را

که یکسر داد تعظیمم بدادند
به سجده پیش رویم سر نهادند

پدر گفتا که بس کن زین سخن بس
مگوی این خواب را زنهار با کس

مباد این خواب را اخوان بدانند
به بیداری صد آزارت رسانند

ز تو در دل هزاران غصه دارند
درین قصه کیت فارغ گذارند

نیارند از حسد این خواب را تاب
که بس روشن بود تعبیر این خواب

پدر کرد این وصیت لیک تقدیر
به بادی بگسلد زنجیر تدبیر

به یک تن گفت یوسف آن فسانه
نهاد آن را به اخوان در میانه

شنیدستی که هر سر کز دو بگذشت
به اندک وقت ورد هر زبان گشت

حکیمی گفت کان دو جز دو لب نیست
کزان سر بگذرانیدن ادب نیست

بسا سر کز دو لب افتد به بیرون
درون صد دلاور را کند خون

چه خوش گفت آن نکو گوی نکوکار
که سر خواهی سلامت سر نگهدار

چو وحشی مرغی از بند قفس جست
دگر نتوان به دستان پای او بست

چو اخوان قصه یوسف شنیدند
ز غصه پیرهن بر خود دریدند

که یا رب چیست در خاطر پدر را
که نشناسد ز نفع خود ضرر را

نمی دانیم کز طفلی چه آید
که طفلی جز طفیلی را نشاید

به هر یک چند بر بافد دروغی
دهد زان گوهر خود را فروغی

خورد آن پیر مسکین زو فریبی
شود از صحبت او ناشکیبی

کند قطع نکو پیوندی ما
برد مهر پدر فرزندی ما

پدر کرده ست ازینسان سربلندش
نیفتد اینقدر حشمت پسندش

هوس دارد که ما از تیرگی پاک
به سجده پیش او افتیم بر خاک

نه تنها ما که مادر با پدر هم
نباید جاه جویی اینقدر هم

پدر را ما خریداریم نی او
پدر را ما هواداریم نی او

اگر روز است در صحرا شبانیم
وگر شب خانه اش را پاسبانیم

بر اعدا قوت بازویش از ماست
بر احباب آب رویش از ماست

بجز حیلتگری از وی چه دیده ست
کز اینسان بر سر ما برگزیده ست

بیا تا کار خود را چاره سازیم
به هر راهش توان آواره سازیم

چو با ما بر سر غمخوارگی نیست
دوای او به جز آوارگی نیست

بباید چاره سازی را کمر بست
نرفته اختیار چاره از دست

چو خاری بر دمد از شور بختی
بباید کند ناگشته درختی

به قصد چاره سازی عهد بستند
به عزم مشورت یکجا نشستند

Blessed is he who has escaped the bonds of form, And closed his eyes to the magic of those who blind the sight.

His heart awake, his eyes sweetly asleep— No one has ever seen such wakefulness in sleep.

His eyes were veiled from the impermanent, Yet, though veiled, they beheld the future.

One night Joseph, before Jacob's eyes— Beloved to him as his very eyesight—

Had laid his head upon the pillow in pleasant sleep, And with a smile made his sweet ruby lips sweeter still.

The sugared ruby of that sweet smile Cast a tumult into Jacob's heart.

When Joseph opened his well-watered narcissus eyes, Like his own good fortune, he opened his eyes from sleep.

Jacob said to him, O you before whom sugar is ashamed, What caused your sugared smile?

He said, I dreamed that the sun and moon, And eleven of the shining stars,

All together paid homage to me; They laid their heads in prostration before my face.

His father said, Enough—say no more of this; Beware, tell this dream to no one.

Let not your brothers learn of this dream, Lest in wakefulness they inflict a hundred torments upon you.

They harbor a thousand grievances against you in their hearts; How could they leave you untroubled in this affair?

Out of envy they could not endure this dream, For the interpretation of this dream is all too clear.

His father gave this counsel, but destiny Can break the chain of prudence with a breath of wind.

Joseph told the tale to one person, Who spread it among the brothers.

Have you not heard that every secret passing beyond two Soon becomes the refrain upon every tongue?

A sage said that those two are none but the two lips; It is improper to let a secret pass beyond them.

Many a secret that escapes beyond two lips Makes the hearts of a hundred warriors bleed.

How well that virtuous, eloquent man said: If you wish your head kept safe, keep the secret.

Once a wild bird has escaped the cage, No artifice can bind its feet again.

When the brothers heard Joseph's tale, In anguish they tore the shirts upon themselves.

They said, O Lord, what is in our father's mind, That he cannot distinguish his benefit from his harm?

We do not know what can come of a child, For a child is fit for nothing but being a dependent.

Each time he weaves together a few lies, He lends luster to his own jewel through them.

That poor old man is deceived by him And becomes impatient when deprived of his company.

He severs our worthy bond with him And takes a father's affection away from us, his sons.

Our father has raised his head so high; Surely this much grandeur cannot satisfy him.

He fancies that we, cleansed of all darkness, Will fall prostrate before him upon the dust.

Not only we, but our mother and father too— Such craving for rank should not go this far.

We are our father's devoted supporters, not he; We are our father's loyal partisans, not he.

If it is day, we are shepherds in the wilderness; If it is night, we guard his house.

The strength of his arm against his enemies comes from us; His honor among his friends comes from us.

What has he seen from that one except deceit, That he has preferred him over us in this way?

Come, let us devise a remedy for our affair; By whatever means we can, let us drive him away.

Since he shows no sympathy toward us, There is no cure for him except banishment.

We must gird our waists to devise a remedy, While the power to act has not yet left our hands.

When a thorn sprouts from the soil of misfortune, It must be uprooted before it becomes a tree.

Intent upon finding a remedy, they made a pact, And resolved to sit together in consultation.
